Description
An ape of some sort surveys the jungle canopy while clinging to a vine on an emergent tree bough. I didn't have any particular species in mind for the ape, but I imagine he's related to the human lineage after it split from chimpanzees after 12 million years ago in the Miocene. In which case, he'd be a very early example of a hominin.Related content

Even though I never cared for primates, learning about human evolution in anthropology was so fascinating and surreal. Nice work on this! You really can see an early hominid under the "monkey" here.

Any ideas of putting this ape with some dinos?

I could do that. But then it would be fantasy rather than paleoart.

I wanted to make a Planet of the Apes joke, but couldn’t think of one
